Recordist's notes

Fontaine is a hamlet roughly an hours walk or a 15 minute moto ride from Pignon, one city in the Nord Department in central Haiti. The recording was done via H2N from the rooftop of a two-story school, recording the sounds of the night, which predominately features a gathering of song, likely though not yet confirmed to be by members of the Voodoo community.
